Sustainability Consulting Role: Worked with the design team to create sustainability standards for next-generation airport design, including LEED Silver (with a potential for Gold), by developing innovative approaches toward net-zero energy planning and resilient infrastructure. Performed daylight and glare studies to support the design process and improve performance. Participated in the integration of passenger wellness metrics with environmental performance goals. (Work performed while at Thornton Tomasetti)

Climate-Positive Solutions Delivered:

• Net-zero energy planning with campus microgrid (solar farm + backup generation)

• Rolling roof collecting rainwater for irrigation and cooling reuse

• Climate-resilient design with elevated critical systems above flood risk

• Biophilic design with indoor greenery and abundant natural light

Performance Targets:

• Targeting LEED Silver certification

• Targeting 30-50% energy reduction vs. existing terminal through efficient design

• Targeting Carbon-neutral operations by 2030 through microgrid and renewables
